The past 20 years can be regarded as the adolescence of geographic
information science (GIS), as it grew from a burgeoning area of
study into a mature and thriving field. During those two decades,
the International Journal of Geographic Information Science
(formerly Systems) (IJGIS) was one of the most prominent academic
guiding forces in GIScience, and looks to remain so for the
foreseeable future. To celebrate this important milestone, Peter
Fisher-the second editor of IJGIS-has compiled 19 of the most
significant and influential articles ever published in the journal.
Classics from IJGIS: Twenty Years of the International Journal of
Geographical Information Science and Systems contains articles that
shaped the way we approach the science of GIS, provided seeds from
which grew key developments that have molded the field, opened new
avenues of discovery across the landscape of modern GIScience, and
some that may mark how it will change in the future. Accompanying
nearly every article is a commentary written by at least one of the
original authors. In these commentaries, the authors reflect on
various aspects of the original work, including what drove their
original research, why the concepts were widely adopted (or in some
cases, why not), and what the future may hold for new research
embarking on these and similar areas. The 20th article in this
collection is an original contribution that examines the social and
collaborative networks operating within and shaping the body of
research in the field.
